Overcast and dull during the morning,brighter during the afternoon,quite mild.

A short visit to Holborough marsh during the morning produced little of note apart from 2 Little Egrets.I then went onto the lakes where the only different sighting from yesterdays visit was a drake Wigeon on Abbey Mead.

During the afternoon a short ringing session in the garden produced 2 Blue Tit,4 Long-tailed Tits and 1 Blackcap (male).The Blackcap had a fat and muscle score of 4/2 and a w.t of 24g,the average summer w.t is 18g.Its nice to know they are doing well after the cold spell.
